QuatroTime Scheduling - Forecasting Attendance
In
order to forecast employee attendance, employees must be assigned to
various elements that determine "When", "Where", and if applicable,
what "Crew" the employee is a member of. Each assignment is based on an
"effective date", allowing assignments to be done ahead of time, using
future effective dates. The number of assignments for each employee is
unlimited as long as the effective date of each assignment is unique.
In QuatroTime, all assignments are done either by accessing the employee's Work Activity Screen or using the Staff Management Screen.

Once created, each Employee is "assigned" to a Schedule which will determine the employee's future working days.
The following information can be determined from the assignment of a Schedule:
The following information can be determined from the assignment of a Schedule:
- Dates when the employee will be working
- Stating time of each shift
- Ending time of each shift
- Length of each Shift
- Dates when the employee is not working
Employees must also be assigned to a Crew. Crews determine who the
employee will be working with, and in what capacity. During the Staff
Management and Attendance process, the crew code groups members of the
same crew together and helps the operator to visually sort out who
works with whom and whether the scheduler has assigned enough resources
to fulfil the staff requirements for a particular day.
The definition of Crews can be maintained via the Lookup Table option in the Administration menu.

The
last assignment element is the Location and Station. This determines
"where" the employee will be working on a particular Shift. During the
Staff Management and Attendance Process people assigned to the same
Location and Station will be grouped together to help the operator to
visually identify the staffing level of a particular area.
The definition of Location/Station codes can be maintained via the Lookup Table option in the Administration menu.
